Mogelijk heb je me al eens eerder gezien in de lokale politiek waar ik ooit ben begonnen. Ik ben trots en enthousiast op het team wat er nu staat en D66 op de kaart gaat zetten. Een team dat Zaltbommel vooruit willen brengen.

Het is voor mij belangrijk dat onze regio een sterke stem heeft in Arnhem. Besluiten over openbaar vervoer, bereikbaarheid en duurzaamheid worden vaak op provinciaal niveau genomen, terwijl ze direct invloed hebben op het dagelijks leven van gezinnen en jongeren in Zaltbommel. Ik wil dat onze dorpen en stad daar gehoord worden en niet aan de zijlijn blijven staan.<br><br>Daarom zet ik mij in voor een gemeente en provincie die durven te investeren in de toekomst. Groene schoolpleinen zijn voor mij een concreet voorbeeld daarvan: plekken waar kinderen kunnen spelen, ontdekken, bewegen en tot rust komen. In Arnhem maak ik me hier al hard voor, en ik wil die inzet ook voor de Bommelerwaard versterken. Want een groene omgeving is niet alleen goed voor het klimaat, maar ook voor de ontwikkeling en het welzijn van kinderen.\t<\/p>\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\t  <\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n<div\n  id=\"\"\n  class=\"wrapper  wrapper__spacing-bottom-large--50 wrapper__spacing-bottom-desktop--70 wrapper__spacing-bottom-mobile--50  wrapper__gutter--none\"\n  >\n  \t<div class=\"wrapper__container wrapper__container-width-large--default\">\n\t  <div class=\"wrapper__inner wrapper__width-large--18 wrapper__width-desktop--22 wrapper__width-mobile--24 wrapper__offset-large--6 wrapper__offset-desktop--2 wrapper__offset-mobile--0\">\n\t\t<section class=\"block-text-title\">\n\t<div class=\"block-text-title__title\">\n\t\t<h3 class=\"heading  heading__color--black heading__size--medium heading__font--sans heading__weight--bold  block-text-title__heading\" id=\"nav-het-kan-w--l-----in-zaltbommel7329\" data-nav-heading-mobile=\"Het kan w\u00e9l \u2013 in Zaltbommel\">\n\tHet kan w\u00e9l \u2013 in Zaltbommel<\/h3>\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"block-text-title__content\">\n\t\t<p class=\"paragraph paragraph__align--left paragraph__color--black paragraph__size--default\">\n\t\tAndere punten waar ik me hard voor maak zijn de Sterke bibliotheken en gelijke kansen voor kinderen: Bibliotheken zijn veel meer dan plekken om boeken te lenen: ze zijn onmisbaar voor taalontwikkeling, leesplezier, digitale vaardigheden en ontmoeting. Ik sta voor een sterke bibliotheekvoorziening in elke kern, zodat ieder kind gelijke kansen krijgt om zich te ontwikkelen.<br><br>Tot slot mag voor mij iedereen zijn wie diegene wil zijn. Inclusie en gelijkheid zit in mijn cellen, het is niet waar ik in geloof maar wie ik ben. Dit mag in Zaltbommel wel wat beter. Daar wil ik me, samen met dit team, hard voor maken.\t<\/p>\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"block-text-title__sidebar\">\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\t  <\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":2237,"featured_media":589,"menu_order":0,"template":"","labels":[],"search-tags":[],"division-tags":[],"class_list":["post-704","people-type","type-people-type","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>D66 Zaltbommel &#8212;
